I stepped out of the room and headed up the stairs. I didn't remember
the names of
the second floor as I did on the first, nor did I remember the layout. I
was playing it
by ear. After climbing the stairs I walked down the dimly lit hallway. I
walked quickly and came to yet another door. I opened it and listened to
the quiet. I proceeded through the hallway and stopped at a door. I
couldn't afford to go into another room with so little ammo so I called for
Irons and kept going. I went through the next hallway and came to a door.
It seemed to be boarded up from the other side. I pounded on it with my
shoulder but it didn't budge.
I started to backtrack through the halls when I came back to the staircase. I started to descend when I heard the familiar click click. Click click. I turned and realized a dog had been hiding under a table. I started to run down the stairs, but the dog jumped and knocked me down them. I nailed my head on the wall and stood slightly disoriented. The dog was already positioning itself for another attack. Its body glistened with sinewy muscle. It jumped at me again and I reached for both of my 9mm's firing them both at the dog creature. It was dead before it hit the floor. I sat down and tried to gain my composure. I was really tired and hungry. I headed back out to the filing room, next to the room with the staircase.
In the filing room I had to dispatch of a few more of the undead. I ran out of bullets for two of my 9mm's and had to rely on my silenced 9mm. I searched through the files and gave up. I was just leaving when a handwritten note caught my eye.
[[U,
I am in hiding, and I am where no one can find, much less get to me. I figure you
should know though so you can come and get me. I am hiding in interrogation room
B. I have left my special password for me to know it's you. The password is Umber.
Please come and get me. I fear my time may be up.
-Irons-]]
I tucked the note into my pocket and left the filing room. I was now standing in office number one. I looked around but found nothing of importance. I was nearing the door to the main hall when something grabbed me from behind. I turned and fired blindly, mentally counting down how many bullets were left in the clip. 15, 14, 13. I punched the zombie in the face and felt its skull give way to the force of the blow. As it stumbled backwards I fired a few more times. 12, 11, 10, 9. The last bullet hit right between its eyes, and it dropped like a sack of bricks. I took some time to calm down and lower my heart rate. That was really close. I stepped into the main hall and spotted another officer running the other way. I only saw him from the back, but he had straight, short, light brown hair. He was wearing a partly charred R.P.D. vest. I called for him but he didn't hear me. I decided my mind was playing tricks on me. I Walked to the opposite end of the main hall and opened a door. The door led into a hallway where three of the undead stumbled towards me looking for a meal.
I tried to look for a way around them, but they were blocking the hallway. I aimed straight for the first one's head and pulled the trigger. Its head popped like a balloon. I aimed at the second and hit it in the left eye, gray matter spattering the flesh eater behind it. The last one was about three feet away and was moaning. I aimed at its head, shot, and missed. I shot again, and nailed it right between the eyes. It went down a foot away from me.
I continued on through the hallway until I came to a door I knew all too well. This door led to the hallway to the interrogation rooms. I stepped into the hallway and it was pitch black. I remembered grabbing a lighter at the zoo so I pulled it out and lit it up. I could see I was in a gray corridor. I walked to the end of the hallway until I heard a scratching behind me.
I hit the deck and the tongue thing leapt over me, screaming in frustration. It skidded to a halt, turned and came at me again. I fired once, twice, three times, hitting it in the back twice, and head once. It flew over me again as I ducked again. It climbed on the wall and jumped to the ceiling. I fired my last two shots into its head and my gun clicked empty. It sensed its victory when I threw my gun down and lurched towards me. It jumped off of the ceiling and charged at me whipping its tongue out. I pulled out the knife I stole off of the guard at the hospital and brought it down into the tongue creature's brain. It took off down the hall, my knife stuck in its brain. I hurried after it and jumped on its back. I pulled the knife out as it screamed the shrillest scream I've ever heard. I replaced the knife into its eyeless face. The tongue thing shuddered and collapsed in a pool of its own blood.
